If these aren't too costly to implement and game consoles continue to use specialized hardware, this could be used to seriously hamper attempts at reverse engineering for modchips and similar things.

It also could be disasterous for right to repair, and against hobbists keeping old hardware running by using third party modifications decades after the end of a product's life.

I'd also question how much of chip design "piracy" is actually done by reverse engineering nowadays vs corporate espionage or leaks of internal design docs.
